Ok, how can you tell an English Hot Dog Stand? First off, its illegal carts on the streets. Other criteria is you have to be from Kosovo or Turkey to operate a stand. It includes dirty labcoat and obliagtory hanging "cigarette" (flavouring purposes I believe). Hotdogs or frankfurters come in cans (although changing gradually and begrudgely)and served mainly to children (something to do with the war). Anyways, its a whole different ballgame here. The average selling price for an English Sausage with stewed onions on long roll with cheapest tomato sauce and mustard is £2.50 or $5 bucks. Just wanted you to know how the over half lives. I had an argument with a hotdog vendor here when I questioned him about where they came from and what they were; Answer: Yankee Stadium! Excellent.

PortofCall: "It includes dirty labcoat and obligatory hanging "cigarette" (flavoring purposes I believe)." A new friend of mine, who is a street vendor said just a few days ago -----> Regarding cigarettes hanging from lips as Hot-dogs are being dressed for customers. " It's the little touches that mean so much in this business"  Just to funny !!!!
